The archetypal figure behind language is computational duality or interaction. Interactions are the prevalent phenomena in language, and they can be concurrent, synchronic, asynchronic, typed or untyped, deterministic or nondeterministic. I…[^49]: The term ‘universe of discourse’ originates from Augustus De Morgan’s phrase universe of a proposition specifically meaning ‘the whole of some definite category of things which are under discussion’ but not at all ‘the totality of al…

In this course
Jean-Baptiste Joinet appears in these readings as a theorist of interactive computation and concurrent systems, foregrounding interaction itself—rather than closed algorithms or deterministic processes—as the foundational model for understanding language and computational dynamics. His work on interactive duality and asynchronous, nondeterministic systems provides conceptual infrastructure for rethinking how AI and cybernetic systems operate not as isolated logic engines but as fundamentally open, relational phenomena. The excerpts suggest his thinking enables the course to move beyond sequential computation toward distributed, concurrent models that resonate with how networked intelligence actually behaves in cultural and artistic contexts.
